ACTUALLY, TUESDAYS AT 9. MY BAD.

I don't know if it will be any good, but I love Jason Lee, so hopefully it will be

Until I discovered Karma - Do good things and good things will happen to you, do bad things and they'll come back to haunt you. Now I know if I want a better life, I need to be a better person...that's why I've made a list of everything I've done wrong, a roadmap to better Karma, and I'm gonna make it right each and every one, I swear."

"Back Story: Actor Jason Lee grew a mangy handlebar moustache for the title role, but NBC told him to shave it off. (Excluding Tom Selleck's Magnum, facial hair famously doesn't play well to TV audiences.) Creator Greg Garcia fought for the follicles and won, though NBC did make Mr. Lee trim his sideburns."

i hope this is good

are we sure its tuesdays?

9/19/2005 11:38:32 AM

yeah it is....theres been heavy advertising for this

9/19/2005 11:42:55 AM

who saw it? I didn't get a chance to, but I did record it.

9/21/2005 12:47:43 PM

i watched it. i thought it was pretty good

9/21/2005 12:52:00 PM

Haha, the 10th aniv. edition of Mallrats cameout out yesterday, that's what I was watching.

9/21/2005 1:02:46 PM

I wish I saw it. I saw a bunch of promos that said "Coming Tuesdays this Fall" but I never saw and actual date and missed it.

9/21/2005 2:42:49 PM

it was ok.. it has potential, but it has a decent amount of room to get better

9/21/2005 3:00:37 PM

In retrospect, sitcom first episodes (and seasons for that matter) are notoriously bad

9/21/2005 3:35:43 PM

maybe its cause i have always liked jason lee, but i really really thought this show was amazing

i think it holds some great promise
and i'm glad to see a no-studio-audience format show (one camera) getting a big push
since the two other big one camera comedies (scrubs and arrested development) don't get any fucking hype and are some of the best shows on tv

also
with this and the office on together
i think nbc may lay claim to funniest hour on tv

ive got to get my vcr timer situation setup

9/21/2005 3:49:05 PM

i REALLY dig this show. it's awesome


not feelin "the office" though.

9/21/2005 3:57:53 PM

^had you seen any of last season?

and yeah, not to give anything away, but when they're at the gaybar and the old school song comes on

my roommate and i both were laughing hard
thats how you start a series

9/21/2005 4:11:00 PM

Ethan Suplee has lost a ton of weight, the gay bar was hilarious and the beer jokes

9/21/2005 4:22:34 PM

jason lee is the shit. that moustache kicks so much ass.

i missed the show though

9/21/2005 4:29:21 PM

haha, just watched it. FUCKING HILARIOUS. I hope this one stays on for awhile.

9/21/2005 5:09:33 PM

nah i missed last season of the Office, so i guess my judging based on one episode is premature

9/21/2005 5:10:30 PM

well, the office last night was almost like a refresher to how dumb/racist/arrogant steve carrell is in this

i guess so people wouldn't confuse him with his 40-y.o.v. character or something

9/21/2005 5:30:39 PM

ok, just watched it, and I love it.

also, did anyone recognize sonny? it was leo fitzpatrick, aka telly from KIDS.

he's not credited on imdb, but it's him.

9/21/2005 9:02:57 PM

I thought it was pretty good.

Ethan Suplee's lost a lot of weight. I mean, he's still fat as shit, but he's lost a lot of weight (point of reference: The Butterfly Effect).

9/21/2005 10:13:48 PM

heh

IT TAKES TWO

my girlfriend did, but we were confused by the lack of imdb listing.

9/21/2005 11:38:48 PM

surprisingly good, I didn't feel optimistic going into it and I found myself laughing pretty hard at a few parts

9/21/2005 11:40:33 PM

show was good, not great, but good

lots of possibilities

no kidding, when i saw that picture of him i wasn't even sure if it was him becaue he looks at least 100 lbs lighter than he used to be

9/22/2005 2:06:47 AM

I thought that picture was of some long lost Affleck.

9/22/2005 2:23:11 AM

ah jaime pressly (sp?) plaing a trashy white girl. Who would have thought. Anyone notice that Earl's brother is that bog guy from Boy Meets World?

he has lost all of that weight due to hair loss obviously...

9/22/2005 7:32:56 AM

heh
if you pause it on the last frame of him running out of kenny's parents house
he appears to be doing his best "young brando" impression

my roommate caught it without even pausing
he was like "you have to rewind that"

He also had a part on HBOs "The Wire"

best goddamn series on television

9/22/2005 1:50:30 PM

I thought the show was great. Jason Lee is awesome and totally pulls the character off. Jaime Pressly was also a good choice for the ex-wife.

9/23/2005 10:17:26 AM

eh it was ok. nothing great.

9/23/2005 10:42:05 AM

jamie pressely's ass is fanstastic, and so is catalina's

1/23/2006 10:51:49 AM

my favorite part was when they're all working in the office Darnell is the office supply distributor

Hey, y’all prepare yourself for the Rubberband man

1/23/2006 11:24:25 AM

Shh, I'm not telling Randy, he's afraid of chickens... and the Pope's big hat, but mainly because he thinks there's a chicken under it.

"Like the character he plays on My Name Is Earl, Jason Lee seems to be suffering from a case of bad karma. How else to explain his diagnosis of adult-onset chicken pox, just as NBC announced that it was renewing his series for a second season? Production on the comedy was shut down over the weekend after Lee was diagnosed with the virus. Fortunately for the rest of the cast, no one else was infected with the itchy ailment; unfortunately for Lee, he was judged highly contagious and will have to remain in quarantine for several weeks. "Jason Lee, if you haven't heard, has the chicken pox," Kevin Reilly, president of NBC Entertainment, announced Sunday at the Television Critics Association meeting in Pasadena. "Jason is actually quite sick and is going to be out of the show for about two or three weeks." "Well, I mean, first of all, we think it's chicken pox," deadpanned show creator Greg Garcia. "I saw him shake Charlie Sheen's hand at the Golden Globes, and the next morning he woke up with bumps all over him, so it could be anything." Reilly, meanwhile, also announced the good news for Earl, revealing that NBC had ordered an additional 24 episodes for next year. In its first season, Earl has been racking up impressive ratings for the network with an average of 12 million viewers each week, revitalizing NBC's post-Friends Thursday-night lineup. The comedy was nominated for two Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, one Directors Guild of America Award and three Writers Guild of America Awards and won the People's Choice award for Favorite New Television Comedy. The show centers on Lee's titular character, Earl, who buys a winning lottery ticket, only to lose it after he is hit by a car. While recovering in the hospital, Earl has an epiphany that his rotten luck is the result of poor karma and subsequently decides to go back and right past wrongs in an effort to reverse his fortune. His list of actions for which he wants to make amends includes faking his own death to get out of a relationship, blowing his father's campaign for mayor and ruining his ex-wife's wedding to her new husband. However, as he goes about trying to fix his mistakes, he inevitably ends up digging himself into an even deeper mess. (But he does find the lottery ticket.) Earl is backed up on his quest by a gaggle of dimwitted friends, played by supporting castmembers Jaime Pressly, Ethan Suplee and Eddie Steeples, among others. Because of Lee's central role, the show simply can not go on without him, Garcia told reporters. "He'll be in all the episodes," Garcia said. "We're just shut down until he is feeling better and is presentable to put on TV again. So, yeah, we are not doing episodes without him." Prior to landing Earl, Lee starred in such movies as Almost Famous and several Kevin Smith films, including Chasing Amy. He broke into show biz with Smith's 1995 comedy Mallrats. "
